SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Women’s Business Council
(NWBC) is a non-partisan federal
advisory council created to serve as an
independent source of advice and
counsel to the President, Congress, and
the U.S. Small Business Administration
on economic issues of importance to
women business owners.
NWBC is undertaking a research
study that will explore how corporate
supplier diversity programs have and
can be used to support the growth of
women-owned businesses (WOBs). Data
will be collected using surveys, focus
groups and telephone interviews.
This study will build on the existing
body of knowledge about the
opportunities and challenges WOBs
have faced in their experiences with
corporate supplier diversity programs;
the perceived and actual value
corporations gain by offering supplier
diversity programs; how corporations
intentionally support the success of
WOBs; and what factors are most
critical to the success of supplier
diversity programs—from the
perspective of both women
entrepreneurs and corporations.
NWBC will use the resulting report
from this data collection to inform its
annual report to the President, Congress,
and the SBA on policy and program
recommendations to support the growth
of women-owned businesses.

business owners across the United
States will be invited to complete a
survey regarding their experiences with
corporate supplier diversity programs.
To delve more deeply into the
perceptions and opinions about
corporate supplier diversity programs,
focus groups with women business
owners will be held in Washington, DC,
New York, NY, Chicago, IL, and Los
Angeles, CA. Individual interviews will
be conducted with managers of
corporate supplier diversity programs in
order to explore characteristics of
corporate supplier diversity programs
and factors that contribute to their
success in meeting targets for
participation of women owned
businesses.
Form Number: N/A.
Total Estimated Annual Responses
The study anticipates that
approximately 400 surveys will be
completed by women business owners;
that there will be a maximum of 96
focus group participants (no more than
12 persons for each of 8 focus groups);
and 20 individual interviews will be
conducted. Potential participants will
be identified through organizations that
certify and provide services that
facilitate the growth of women owned
businesses.
Total Estimated Annual Hour Burden
It is estimated that survey
respondents will spend a maximum of
30 minutes completing the
questionnaire. Focus groups
participants will spend approximately
120 minutes completing a prediscussion questionnaire, engaging in
the focus group discussion and traveling
to and from the focus group location.
Interviews with corporate supplier
diversity managers will require
approximately 60 minutes.
The total annual time burden is
estimated at 417 hours for completion of
all aspects of data collection. To
estimate the annualized cost of this time
burden, we assumed 2,000 annual
working hours and an annual salary of
$75,000, which is the median salary of
small business owners as reported by
PayScale Human Resources 1, resulting
in a cost per participant of $0.63. For
survey respondents, the total annualized
time burden would be would be $18.90
per participant or a total of $7,560; for
focus group participants, it would be
$75.60 or a total of $7,257.60; and for
interview respondents it would be
$37.80 or a total of $756.00.
In order to obtain 96 focus
participants, it is estimated that 300
contacts will be needed. Of those 204
individuals who are contacted and

screened, but who are not eligible,
willing, or able to participate in the
focus groups, the time burden is
approximately five minutes. This adds
an additional annual time burden of
$642.60.
In total, the time burden cost for this
study is estimated at $16,216.20.
